La Terrazza del Museo Capitolino
Rome - You know it's right there. Just an extra 5 minute walk and you are clear of the chaos and traffic of the city. Yet for some reason you never make it as often as you should, figuring that you're in a rush and it's just a cappuccino e cornetto anyhow . . .
|
Occasionally though, you are near the Capitoline hill (origin of the word "Capital"), and you take the walk up the steps leading to the Campidoglio, Rome's seat of government since time immemorial. . . (scroll down)
|
. . . make an immediate right at the top of the stairs, and pass through the arch . . . |
. . . walk until you find this entrance on your left and climb the stairs . . . |
|
|
. . . go through this non-descript door, and . . |
. . . and then you remember why it's worth the effort. The cappuccino isn't that bad either. |
